Subject: [PATCH] page_poison: plays nicely with KASAN

KASAN does not play well with the page poisoning
(CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING). It triggers false positives in the allocation
path,

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in memchr_inv+0x2ea/0x330
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88881f800000 by task swapper/0
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.0.0-rc1+ #54
Call Trace:
 dump_stack+0xe0/0x19a
 print_address_description.cold.2+0x9/0x28b
 kasan_report.cold.3+0x7a/0xb5
 __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x19/0x20
 memchr_inv+0x2ea/0x330
 kernel_poison_pages+0x103/0x3d5
 get_page_from_freelist+0x15e7/0x4d90

because KASAN has not yet unpoisoned the shadow page for allocation
before it checks memchr_inv() but only found a stale poison pattern.

Also, false positives in free path,

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kernel_poison_pages+0x29e/0x3d5
Write of size 4096 at addr ffff8888112cc000 by task swapper/0/1
CPU: 5 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.0.0-rc1+ #55
Call Trace:
 dump_stack+0xe0/0x19a
 print_address_description.cold.2+0x9/0x28b
 kasan_report.cold.3+0x7a/0xb5
 check_memory_region+0x22d/0x250
 memset+0x28/0x40
 kernel_poison_pages+0x29e/0x3d5
 __free_pages_ok+0x75f/0x13e0

due to KASAN adds poisoned redzones around slab objects, but the page
poisoning needs to poison the whole page, so simply unpoision the shadow
page before running the page poison's memset.
